Final Take
The RS 660 Phillip Island Tribute celebrates a circuit that has played an important role in Aprilia’s racing history. Rather than introducing mechanical changes, the limited edition focuses on exclusive styling and commemorative details while retaining the RS 660’s existing performance and electronics package. With Phillip Island set to leave the MotoGP calendar after 2026, the motorcycle also marks the end of a significant chapter in the brand’s connection with the Australian circuit.
